Cash-strapped state and local governments slashed more than 200,000 jobs last year, according to a report Tuesday.

U.S. Census data show that state and local governments had 203,321 fewer full-time employees and 27,567 fewer part-time workers in 2010, compared with 2009.

Around the country, a majority of local governments, which includes cities and counties, cut jobs in 2010, the Census showed.

Rhode Island saw the biggest loss of full-time jobs — a 7.7 percent drop — at the local government level, according to Reuters. In contrast, North Dakota’s full-time local public employee workforce increased 7.5 percent.

Another state with public employee growth is Texas, whose governor, Rick Perry, is currently seeking the GOP presidential nomination. The state had the largest increase in state workers at 5.9 percent, a gain of 17,800 full-time jobs, from 2009 to 2010.

Those working part-time in counties and cities fared worst in California, which shed the most part-time jobs, 47,620, during the year.

For state public employees, Rhode Island, Idaho and Connecticut were the hardest hit of the bunch, with each losing 5 percent of their workforces.

In 2010, the data showed, city and county governments had 12.2 million full-time employees and state governments had 4.4 million full-time workers.
